BandHead REACTS to Memphis Mass Band vs Georgia Mass Band | Battle For the Culture IV (2023)

[@lexaskew5150]

Memphis smashed them folks

[@GoKart9World]

Search and rescue was enough for me

[@Kway773]

Damn good battle.. both bands was🔥🔥🔥but Memphis..my gawd man... they was destroying

[@KBThaBandhead]

I agree

[@chrismontrell]

If you are judging off of arrangements then Memphis by a landslide

[@KBThaBandhead]

Energy, arrangement, performance... OVERALL Memphis put on a better performance. Both bands need to clean it up FRFR

[@King_Nick1]

@@KBThaBandheadyup!

[@terrancesneed3757]

After watching this a 2nd time I still give this to Memphis. They had a better selection and musicality. GAMB had a cleaner sound but most of the arrangements weren't challenging. I think GA was on an out power mission. In the end they were out finessed and given the size difference, MMB wasn't as far off with power as you think. i guess GAMB has more hs students this season, but I think they have some horn holders. Wity their style of play I think they should top out at 300 and that's being generous more like 250. Anything beyond that and music becomes muddy and balance becomes hell with their style. Trumpets were nowhere to be found and Mellos had moments like that too. I hope GA takes this L and does some labwork for NOASB. They took MMB lightly and got exposed for it

[@Tere0829]

I dont think ive ever seen KB give a band 3 or more deductions and they still won the battle. Memphis made this harder than it had to be but still won. Coulda been a blowout.

[@vincethornton9036]

At first I thought he was being biased against Memphis. Yes they made a couple mistakes but at the end you did say it could have easily been a clean sweep by Memphis...but everybody knows Memphis came and slapped!!!

[@JohnMoore-w2g]

Amen

[@sentrellgoings9250]

David versus Goliath 😂

Bruh I literally watched this entire battle and just realized it was held at McDonough High School (The Warhawks) where I graduated in '07 as 1st trumpet. Great battle and great commentary. Memphis straight brought that HEAT!

[@kennethsherrill5021]

Gotta give it to MMB. The real one 💪🏾. They came ready!!

[@jordanmoon377]

Seee, everyone else gave GAMB the first round! I been think MMB got the first round; glad to see you agree.

[@javiseason5213]

One of the best battles from Memphis I’ve heard in a while 👍🏾

[@jordanjones1653]

Its like he gotta confirm it for us everybody been waitin on this😂ill be hitting that cashapp again

[@BandHeadChris]

Right lol😂. Out of all the reaction videos I’ve seen I still was waiting on KB’s opinion lol😂

[@spaceshiprock5ive712]

⁠@@BandHeadChris 😂😂😂 right, I told my potna KB keep it 💯 but the way he do it be faf 🤣

[@d._minor3303]

I think folk just can’t count, it wasn’t a tempo issue just go and count you’ll see it’s in time. But the average person watching not counting. they ended on the e not the 1 so it sounds off but it’s all in tempo put a met on and watch

[@aj3863]

Last year gamb was more balance too many people. Definitely need to cut their members. Mmb was more balanced for sure.🤷🏼‍♂️ Entertaining reaction as always kb. Glad u enjoyed Spain man keep it up👍🏼

[@KBThaBandhead]

Thanks fam!!

[@Prophetrandydixon]

Ok we have hard from everyone else but now it’s time to hear from @kb the Roger Broz say some very interesting things

Been waiting on this video. Memphis won in my opinion….by a lot!

[@Redman-xv5wg]

Memphis all day💪🏽for the Dub‼️

[@FancySeeingYouHere]

WoW factor and arrangements goes to MMB. Overall sound goes to GAMB. Depends on what you like

[@KBThaBandhead]

It's funny that's how ya'll feel with this battle but last year against NOASB, GAMB won with the same formula tho 🤔🤨

[@kingvon12]

How does a better overall band lose? Which means y’all wasn’t the better overall band!

Memphis 🔥🔥😊

[@byronshipp3454]

No sir 😂😂😂. How hard is it to sound good playing whole notes bro. Find another way

[@byronshipp3454]

[@michaeljohnson1495]

GAM Tubers have the same breakdown in every song

[@brandonr1003]

how?

[@byronshipp3454]

The musicality difference between the two is close to auto dub for Memphis. You giving GAMB too much of a pass bro. That third round should have went to MMB. GA responded with whole notes to Janelle Lipstick Lover. That sound had power, musicality. Execution could have been better but you gave them a L on a drum fill at the end come one my G

[@8888-p6e]

NEW ORLEANS bout to eat on them boys 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@norfmemphisking]

You trippin on the deductions my guy. You eliminating rounds literally because of one note in 2 songs🤦🏾‍♂️ lol. Which they weren't that off. It's a trumpet thing bro. You gotta shoot for the stars🤷🏽‍♂️🤝🤣. But let's be frfr. Memphis won them rounds big dawg😂😂😂.

[@KBThaBandhead]

I'm down with shooting for the sky but hitting wrong notes and coming early.. Naw, I'm good big dawg, you can have that.

[@byronshipp3454]

@@KBThaBandheadthe note was flat not wrong fam 😅

[@norfmemphisking]

@KBThaBandhead I can give you the off note but the coming in early thing can definitely be ignored since it was the right note and gamb played some mid. Just sayin.

[@calvinbartlett4954]

That Marley song Memphis played reminds me of how Fortvalley State could sound.

[@MusicLife2016]

GAMB got too many people, section’s fighting each other to be heard more. Trumpets can’t cut through all that

[@robertpatterson33]

[@macburg34]

They played that Under the influence better than SU…

[@kentrelt5140]

Disagree. That arrangement was interesting. I don't like brass screaming the versus. I prefer su soft approach mixed with power.

Idk why I be waiting to see dude videos before I even watch the original Like let’s skip watching until KB post 😂

[@lknightt]

🤣👌🏾

[@Luvaboy_ViK]

That Cameo "tribute to Bob Marley" to start off... Sheesh!!

[@bboiliv]

Memphis is more head ass as far as the performance goes but GAMB has an enjoyable dark rich sound

[@SonicBoomC98]

GA sounds kind of empty on some songs, and at times they seem like they're just chilling. Then at times, it seems like they tried to go safe and simple because of the size. I didn't really love a song until round 5. Though 2 or 3 were good. Memphis just has a different mentality, and I don't just mean as far as band. I don't think this battle was even close. I had Memphis 6-1 or 5-1-1. GA finally showed something in round 7. I could go 5-2 if I was being generous. I wonder how crazy it would be if they did a Tennessee Mass band instead of just Memphis, and how GA gone move just to watch? IF a SWAC band moved like that, there would have been some face-to-face cranking. People trying to give GA a pass saying they have a better sound, but if you're bigger, simpler, and more conservative your sound should be good. Better is very subjective.

[@jlynnthomas14]

Yep NOASB dont play that leaving early mess......Memphis won that

[@KingDru]

I’m giving this to GA better sound. I will agree with the Memphis having better arrangements comment.

[@KBThaBandhead]

Anybody can sound good with WHOLE NOTES and HALF NOTES but okay

[@KingDru]

@@KBThaBandhead I rather hear properly executed whole notes than some great arrangements poorly executed with flat and stray notes. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Sorry not sorry.

Atl tubas was not doing what they was suppose to

[@speakblacktome1675]

Powerful stand battle. That first song that Memphis played by Cameo entitled Tribute to Bob Marley was fire. It set the bar high. A lot of brass but that woodwind highlight was unexpected. Georgi will not underestimate an opponent. Memphis was the truth in this battle. Their arrangements fit their instrumentation. The percussion blended and thumped well.

[@terrorblossom4829]

35:53 jsu dawg team tuba section leader jc

[@rashaundavis8304]

Memphis had great songs and power for their size...biggest difference they were not clean at all. Their trumpets are out of control even though they hitting the notes...it can ruin a great song by hanging over way too much. GAMB had weird song selections but they were clean and had one sounding band. If MMB can clean that up and get some discipline, they will take it.

[@TaySo_Real]

Mane my home city ain’t no b‼️h.. when we put our mind into that music. Don't play with it... don't play with it. I played in mass bad one time and my band director Derrick he is hard on arrangement. Playing that battle tuba ain't no joke💯

Memphis tore Georgia's size UP!! DAMN shame Georgia don't hav e the thump. Guess that could be contributed to arrangements. This is the second time myself seeing this battle and the first video was shot differently than this one and you got the edited one. That's right!! If you roll back on your video at the end when Georgia's dancers were moving to Memphis, you'll notice Georgia's head dancer is a MAN!!!....NOT a woman!!! I've never seen anything such as that before!
